disconnect with reality in this board on bounty hunter/Kitchens and the search....
-
When a OC steps in thats never called plays and develops a re pore with the players the way he did. There just has to be something special to Kitchens. As noted time and time again, the players responded, Baker Exploded, and Browns football became fun and relevant once again. If Haslam can't see this, then he is a (or is) a fool.(Hopefully he doesn't devote to much time to his new partnership with the Columbus Crew) As for Williams, sometimes 2nd chances are all you need. He's been down the road once be4 and has a perfect opportunity in Cleveland to leave a huge mark. Seems the players really respond to this staff, and with a few more pieces (DT, A Cerebral LB, CB) They will have all the pieces to succeed for years to come.

You are correct! Nobody said they were the favorites. Welcome to the World according to Taco that doesn't include reading comprehension...
nonsense...there is a whole thread where several posters pontificate on how we may just be interviewing all these others to 'make it look right' and dorsey and williams are going to
have a sit down where they hash it all out and get it done. Pure fantasy.
The farther bounty hunter gets from this organization the better. Im not at all convinced though that there isnt still a small chance he won't be retained as DC. He exhibits such delusional and grandiose thought content("I could have 6 HC jobs without even showing up for the interview") that he may actually feel another organization would want him as a head coach(they don't) and it's not a sure thing that with his history he could even latch on as a DC.....so coming back here as DC, if offered, would probably be better for him than being unemployed or a position coach...but who knows.
I'm all for a complete overhaul though

I'll start with the only positive I can find for you with your comment about Williams putting way too much Hollywood on how many teams want to hire him for their situation. YAHTZEE!
Having said that, I read the entire thread about Interviews where I don't see several posters saying they are just going to interview a bunch of guys to make it look right before Dorsey hires Williams.
I do recall some previous discussions about what we'll do after the season is over during the last 4-5 games or so. Those were if-then scenarios. Some guys DID post if this team finishes with a winning record for the duration of Williams' 8 games as Interim Head Coach - they don't want to see us hiring a new HC that wants to hire his own staff and fire the group of coaches that just brought us a 5-3 finish in what feels like the first time in forever. I'm one of them but I don't recall that being popular opinion. I got the sense many wanted to see who would be considered and who would be interested (to show us what type of attraction the job is today). I also got the sense they wanted to see what would unfold. 5-3 football unfolded while guys like Perriman and Robinson came here and played the best football of their careers. A lot of 1st and 2nd year players also improved, which is a sign the coaching is pretty good as inconvenient as that is for you to accept.
I think what's twisting your nipples right off your chest here is you made so many negative predictions that it became a conflict of interest for you to root for this team and all these players (you boldly wrote off and insulted as soon as Dorsey drafted/signed them). And we can also include Sashi for his mortal sin of drafting Peppers you feel so compelled to hope you are right about. The reason you don't see ANY progress or understand the electricity in Cleveland this year is because you don't want to. You'd prefer to be right so you just keep trying to convince yourself of that in all the threads. Telling me you're all for the complete overhaul after the current Interim HC and new OC just went 5-3 is a classic reminder of how little you understand the bigger picture. Players finally WANT to be in Cleveland and are excited about what they are building rather than dreaming about greener grass elsewhere. That's epic progress and you couldn't GET that if you tried. You blow this staff up that these kids are buying into right now and it puts all of that right up in smoke. No thanks! I'll be here if I'm wrong. Will you? You usually disappear when this team is winning unless you're worried there's people complimenting Peppers...

If we're looking for a coach longterm, I see no issue why Williams - at 60 years old, would turn down a 3 year contract that listed Kitch as HCIN thus giving the chance to groom our guys in house. This would also establish something we've not had in my lifetime - coaching continuity.
Just something Dorsey would think about I hope.

Continuity? The Browns?

This post is funny. Its not like Greg Williams was a bum out on the street, untouchable before we made him DC. He was let go as part of the Rams overhaul. And BTW the Rams defense was better under Williams then it has been under Phillips and McVeigh. I like wins, when Williams coached he won, players responded to the discipline he brought. I would like to keep him either as HC or DC, if I can only keep one, I keep Kitchens.

While it is always a good idea to interview as many applicants as possible, to me, it defies logic to hire anyone other than Williams as HC, and try to retain Kitchens as OC. We have a team that has been a perennial loser since it's beginning with a couple exception here and there. We finally find a coaching chemistry that produces wins, players who resemble real NFL players, not lethargic individuals playing at half speed. This is something that we haven't seen in forever. We have a "dangerous" qb, a young,talented defense, and appear to be a very good team, improving. So...why in the Hell would you destroy that, to bring some college coach or a washed up big name NFL coach in here, not knowing the results? We already know what we have with Williams and Kitchen, and it will only improve with a few new players at key positions. If we hire Josh McDaniels or some other idiot, he is sure to want his own staff. Then he will want his own players, his own defensive game plan, his own offensive game plane, etc. What we have is working, but in it's infancy. To destroy that based on hope would be stupid. I don't care if a lot of people don't like Williams. How many people like Bellichik?....Parcells? Whatever they do will be acceptable, because Dorsey might know slightly more than I do, but if it blows up in our faces, and we are looking at less wins in 2019, I will be here to say "I told you so".

1) The farther bounty hunter gets from this organization the better. Im not at all convinced though that there isnt still a small chance he won't be retained as DC. He exhibits such delusional and grandiose thought content("I could have 6 HC jobs without even showing up for the interview") that he may actually feel another organization would want him as a head coach(they don't) and it's not a sure thing that with his history he could even latch on as a DC.....so coming back here as DC, if offered, would probably be better for him than being unemployed or a position coach...but who knows.
2) I'm all for a complete overhaul though
1) Bountygate was six years ago. Williams paid his dues for conspiring in that scheme. So you're trying to tell me people can't change. FWIW, if the Browns don't retain Williams, he's certain to get at least a couple Head Coaching interviews from other teams based on his 5-2 interim record with the Browns.
2) Sure, we've had more complete overhauls and blow up of the coaching staff and Front Office than I can count. I had to look it up, since 1999, the Browns have gone through 10 head coaches, rivaling the number of names on that Quarterback jersey, one every two years on the average. So we're finally are seeing some inkling of progress and you want to "blow it all up again?" Those who don't remember the past are doomed to repeat it. Sean McVays don't grow on trees, and you have to be damn lucky to guess right on an up and comer. Ask the Broncos how Josh McDaniels worked out. Williams just might be one of the coaches who works out the second time around. Belichick and Carroll sure did.
If you're interested, you'll have to go back to 1947 to find ten coaches the Steelers have had since.

because of kitchens we went from 24th to 13th in total offense. On defense we went from 14th to 30th. It's clear who we absolutely must retain and who can walk if we have better candidates
-
how more people aren't miffed about dropping 16 spots on the total team defense is beyond me.

But we won more. I think the Texans game skewed the numbers some. And another example where you can’t get the whole story on a stat line

well yeah, we won more cause we went from 24th to 13th in offense in essentially not a complete season because until Hue and Haley were fired, even with Baker the offense was so so. If that offense we saw the last 6 or so games had been there from the start, or at least from a 2-3 games in...we'd be in the playoffs.
-
if you guys are ok with the 30th ranked defense in the league going into next year when it's very conceivable we can step on the entire AFC north's neck....

One thing on the D. We didn’t give up a ton of points. Injuries in the secondary didn’t help either. I figure a little more, better talent will do wonders next year. Blake was the one calling D plays after the hue flu too

I don't think anyone is happy being ranked 30th in defense. LOL, guess who's 31st? The Chiefs.
For the record, the other playoff teams are: Eagles #23, Patriots #21, Rams #19, Seahawks #16, Saints #14, Texans #12, Colts #11, Chargers #9, Cowboys #7, Bears #3, Ravens #1. PS the Jaguars were 5th in total defense, and sucked because their quarterback situation sucked.
I don't think anyone has the Ravens or Bears as odds on favorites to win the Super Bowl, even with their great defenses. Sure, we have to improve the defense, especially the run defense. It won't take much incremental improvement to drastically improve in that respect though. FWIW the difference between the Browns defense and the Rams is 35 yards\game, and the Rams only gave up 8 fewer points than the Browns over an entire season- less than one per game. Plus that yardage might be skewed because Cleveland played in four overtime games, some which went the full 10 minutes.

Duh.....because they went from -0- wins to 7? Also.....you are looking at the wrong stat.
How do they compare from 2017 to 2018 in points given up per game?
